One of the Korean researchers working on room temperature superconductors shows a sample with some possible magnetic locking effects. The phenomenon occurred when he found and cut out a part of the sample that was felt to have strong diamagnetism. He does not know if the effect can be explained by Lenz’s law. He thinks …
Investigation of the zero resistance and temperature-dependent superconductivity phase transition in Pb-Cu-P-S-O compound by Huk Geol Kim, Dae Cheol Jeong and Hyun-Tak Kim. Hyun-Tak Kim is one of the lead researchers for the LK99 team. This new paper presents a specific critical temperature for PCPOSOS, demonstrating consistency with the original authors’ data. In this study, …
Motional, a global leader in driverless technology, and Hyundai Motor Group launched IONIQ 5-based robotaxi Motional’s next-generation robotaxi. They added LIDAR and other sensors to all-electric Hyundai IONIQ 5. The IONIQ 5 robotaxi is an SAE Level 4 autonomous vehicle that can safely operate without a driver. It’s a zero tailpipe-emissions robotaxi and represents the …
Two weeks ago the Korean group presented new room temperature superconductivity research and this week the Chinese research group published new research on LK99 type superconductors. Are we at a breakthrough? What has been done in this new research? China has published new research on improved copper and sulfur codoped material with a stronger meissner …
SCT Lab published a paper on how they make the Pb-Cu-P-S-O compound that has some pieces with potential room temperature superconductivity. The description of the process to make it is partial. How they get the powders is not described. They did not give mass ratios (cited intellectual property). The testing process for zero resistivity did …
There was a APS presentation by Ulsan Korea University researchers. It is being reported that numerous comments on the Chinese website Zhihu imply that the University of Ulsan’s data plot is so important that a certain superconductivity expert saw the decisive signal proving LK99’s superconductivity in the graph’s temperature rise curve near 200K. Nextbigfuture does …
This is a review of the arguments and evidence for and against LK99 type materials as room temperature superconductors. Case Against Cuprous Sulfide and Iron Contamination The claims against LK99 and LK99-variants materials as a superconductor is that cuprous sulfide has some transition temperatures that match up with some of the bulk LK99 readings. They …
SCT Corp is a different South Korean group from the original Korean team working on room temperature superconductors. Dae-Chel Jung is one of the researchers are SCT Corp. SCT Corp provided a video of one of their superconducting samples fully levitating. SCTL is short for Superconducting Technology Lab and SCT Corp is Superconductor Technology Corp. …
The original south korean team of researchers presented new videos of their work on room temperature superconductors on Monday. In this video, I (Brian Wang) discuss what I think are the main points from the brief 10 minute update. There is now full levitation of the new material which has sulfur in the chemical formula. …
Korean news agencies have coverage of the PCPOSOS room temperature superconductor. They show all of the videos and slides including ones with full levitation and flux pinning effects. I would point out that none of the research papers that claim to falsify the room temperature superconducting claims have been able to replicate partial levitation with …
Here is a video of a PCPOSOS room temperature superconductor experiment. The video matches up with one of the slides from the APS Hyun-Tak Kim talk. Different Kinds of Magnetism and Levitation Diamagnetism is a property of matter, superconductivity is a state of matter. Diamagnetism describes how a material reacts when plunged into a magnetic …
